AIBU?

Loads of Veggies and Massive Salad

I find people saying they had “loads of veggies” or “massive salad” with their meal irrationally irritating. Not the fact they had vegetables or a salad, just the phrases.

I am being unreasonable, aren’t I?

On the Christmas breakfast thread the other day there was a mention of, "massive fruit salad".

Any adult who refers to vegetables as veggies deserves to be pelted with frozen sprouts until they see the error of their ways.

Huge salads
Massive pots of chilli

Never normal sized. Very irritating

I would add
Hot choc
Toms
Tinned toms
Pots
Jkt pots
Spag bol
Mac n cheese
And the use of "good" and "proper" when talking about bread, butter, etc

When you add in all the Yums
and yummies it's little wonder I avoid food threads usually.

@Mrsjayy

My massive salads usually have cheese and pork pie in them so not exactly healthy Wink

Pork pie is a salad ingredient now?

Who knew?

I will agree with you though, about the use of the word "veggies". The word is vegetables.

@AnotherMansCause

Many people like vegetables. I do. The fact that thiese phrases irritates you says something about your feelings towards vegetables, I suspect?

Not at all. I love most vegetables. I’m more lukewarm about salad, but a good one is nice.

@RobertaFirmino no it's not. Cadburys for example. It tastes like someone mixed a bar of chocolate with some old candle ends. I'd sooner go without TBH.

No you aren't being unreasonable. It also grates when people say that for their monthly treat, they have a square or two of 'good' chocolate. All chocolate is good.

Yanbu.

"Massive salad" like it's a hearty, indulgent, filling meal. It just never is.

Do people even say those things?

Though I have to say I find adults using the word “veggies” very irritating.
